"A new global report (pdf) by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development finds that Americans rank well below the worldwide average in just about every measure of skill. In math, reading, and technology-driven problem-solving, the United States performed worse than nearly every other country in the group of developed nations."
The statistics in this report are eye-opening. It shows that Americans have trouble with words, numbers and technology-driven problem solving. In all areas "the United States performed worse than nearly every other country in the group of developed nations."
